I’ve been on a fair amount of islands around the world and the ones in Greece are unmatched. I’ve pretty much exhausted most of my pics in here so you’re about to receive a steady stream of these pics once they’re processed. Cleanest water I’ve ever experienced. Sorry NZ and Caribbean.

But is there surf? By surf I mean decent to good ride-able surf. An island without surf remains merely aspirational, IMO.
